As this discussion of the indicators for greenhouse gas emissions shows, an equitable sharing of global commons will not be easily achieved. Clearly there is much more to nature than can be accounted for entirely in terms of monetary indicators. Valuing in situ natural resources solely as raw materials, for example, ignores their role in the earth's complex life-support systems. Nonmonetary weighting schemes have therefore been suggested for forests, biodiversity, nonrenewable resources, and aspects of the global commons.

Page 1 Introduction Making Environmental Data Useful to Policymakers The World Bank views environmentally sustainable development from three perspectives: economic, sociocultural, and ecological. 1 The diversity of these needs and concerns suggests that there is no universally "right" or "wrong" policy path to achieve environmentally sustainable development.
Intermediate "composite" indicators of progress are already being tested as schemes for monetary and nonmonetary valuation. Preliminary results suggest thatat a minimumthese experimental approaches will be useful in promoting consensus about priorities for further work. Summary of Contents Monitoring Environmental Progress poses a series of compelling questions that properly targeted indicators for environmentally sustainable development should help to answer. The discussion, therefore, explores the strengths and weaknesses of available indicators and suggests avenues for developing new ones.
